Want to 700-074: memory slots

My computer came with 12 GB of memory. I checked and the person who built my computer (Microcenter) put the sticks of memory (4 GB and 8 GB) in slots 2 and 4. I just ordered another stick of memory 8 GB. Should I put the two 8 GB sticks in slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4, is really important? Also if I add the 4 GB stick in a 3rd slot, which will be OK, I heard say adding a 3rd without the 4th might actually slow down a system? Thank you for your time.

Hi Dave,.

The old HP PC have been capricious on the placement of the DIMMs and the specifications.  If modules of memory DIMM "bind" to the top then your PC cannot start and/or controllers can memory return to operation single channel verses two-channel operation.

The recent HP PC should be more lenient with mix DIMMS, but that is not guaranteed.  I prefer to use the corresponding DIMMs and fill first the blue locations with the largest DIMM.

You can download CPU-Z to check the specifications of your DIMMS, and, in addition, the operations of channel memory.  I suggest that you do everything first before adding additional DIMM.  If you find that your PC does not work in dual channel mode then back to microcenter for assistance.

  • WANT to 700-074: BIOS update failed HP ENVY 700-074

    I intend to update Windows 10 soon.  HP recommends to update the drivers and BIOS before upgrade.  the original BIOS is listed as FRIEND 80.15 in msinfo32 dated 19/09/2013 (and in the setup of the BIOS as KAI 80.15). The computer came with 8 VICTORY and has been updated to WIN 8.1.  I tried to update the BIOS with the update listed for computers 700 - 0xx WANT to sp66018.exe.  I downloaded and ran the update with the HP Support assistant help.  A DOS window appears, and the update completed.  Norton AntiVirus has been disabled and all programs were closed during installation.  I created a USB file as the recommended window.  After that restart the BIOS version has not changed... Even after several reboots (and stops) and disconnect the power cord (I did some housekeeping to clean the inside of the computer of the dust) the version of the BIOS is still the original.

    What is the correct BIOS update?  There are two listed for my machine - 80.20 Rev. (I used) may 28, 2014

    and 80.24 Rev.A 7 April 2015

    Which is the correct one?  I don't want to install a bad!

    It is possibly disable startup secure in the BIOS for the update to be successful?

    Apparently, the dates are correlated with the version I had.  I tried to install one, be one originally installed... I installed the 80.24 Rev A version dated April 7, 2015 and it updated without problems.

  • Want to 700-074 video card recommendation

    I start to play a MMO and he says my driver is low level. She still plays. There is no newer driver on the HP website and I can't load new driver Intel that HP has installed a driver(for stability) custom

    A more recent MMO starts in April with graphics much higher. I was told that the video card which is on board the system will probably confine myself to the middle level graphics on this game. So I am looking to update my video card. I understand there are limits on what can be installed due to having only a 460W PSU.

    Can anyone recommend a new video card?

    My limit is $300

  • confused about the want 700-074 update bios - it's for my computer?

    Hi all

    I am a happy owner of a 700-074 HP Envy computer. I have a question about a recent update BIOS I've seen on the software and drivers download page on the main site HP.COM. I frequently check the site for updates of drivers and software.

    The update in question is classified

    Update BIOS HP Compaq consumer desktop PC (SSID family ROM 2AF3)

    Although the ROMA family corresponds to the family on my computer, it lists the update of a HP Compaq computer.

    This BIOS does the 700-074 want system specifically? I guess it's because it it lists to the title of the download page for 700-074 want systems. However, I don't want to patch my BIOS with the update incorrect if it is considered an error.

    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello @boinc127,

    I understand that you are looking to confirm that the update of the BIOS HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update (2AF3 ROM family SSID) is appropriate for your computer. As far as I can tell it's the update of the correct BIOS for your computer.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • HP Envy 700-074 Graphics Card problem Windows 8

    Greetings,

    I recently bought the HP ENVY 700-074 (http://http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us & dlc = in & lang = to & lc = in & product = 5371495).

    Initial setup went fine without any problem.  I replaced the power supply so that I could add the graphics card from my old computer.  The power supply and graphics card worked perfectly for my old computer.  Feeding is a BFG Tech GX 550 watt modular power supply series.  The graphics card, I have installed is the Nvidia 560ti.

    The problem is that, when I start the computer, my screen goes to sleep (as there is no signal) until the login Windows 8 screen lights up. At this time, my screen lights up and it is normally.  However, if updates or restarts the computer, the screen turns off again and he returned sometimes when loading the desktop computer.  I tried to get into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but I have been unable to access BIOS because I don't see anything on the screen during startup.  I removed the Nvidia card and returned to the use of the integrated graphics card and everything is back to normal.  I managed to enter the BIOS at the time here, but I don't see any possibility to disable the integrated graphics card or use the PCIe as main display (unless I missed something).

    I also noticed that Windows 8 shows I have 2 screens installed when only 1 is installed physiclaly.  My HP (HP 2009 m) monitor is listed in Monitor 2 and I initially had to go through the windows to get my HP Monitor to display the entire desktop (as it origionally extended from the start, the desktop computer).  However, number of monitor 1 is listed as monitor of generic cards.  Thinking that the computer used the non-existent monitor like main display when starting, I deleted the generic monitor than to have to reinstall windows.  I also tried to disable, but the problem persists.

    I guess that there is a conflict between the integrated graphics card and the Nvidia card.  However, I assumed that the edge will be disabled automatically after inserting a card into the PCIe slot as the integrated graphics card watch is no longer under device mananger.

    Hello:

    Have you changed the settings of the BIOS 2 (required) before installing the video card no HP?

    If this isn't the case, please read the info on the link below.

  • IAM thinking without downgrading my desire to hp 700-074 to windows 7 is worthy

    IAM thinking without downgrading my want to hp for windows 7 is it worthy and just in case I want to dwongrade in any case I want the drivers that need me so my desire to hp 700-074 to work properly or the dirvers it comes with compatible with windows 7

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You can buy a copy of Windows with a Microsoft COA and a Windows product key is valid.

    You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in page 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' in the settings below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    or

    Also, as the hard disk can be partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    Most of the Windows 7 driver for the CTO page drivers HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe desktop PC should run on your computer. If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager for devices as shown in the example below.

  • Satellite L300D-10 q: I can find only one memory slot

    I want to increase the memory from 1 GB to 4 GB.
    However when I remove the cover I see 1 location with the current in module.
    The literature indicates there are 2 slots and it is expandable to 4 GB.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The Satellite L300D supports two memory for sure locations.
    The slots are placed at the bottom of the unit. You can find it in the middle. The slots are secured with a screw. Under the plastic cover, you should find two memory locations.

    Sometimes the second slot can be hidden under the first memory module

  • HP Envy 700-074 model BIOS corruption, or bug, etc.

    Hello

    My name is Patrick Barker, and I'm an analyst of the blue screen of death core Dump. During the last week, I ran into two users having a HP Envy 700-074 computer and experience the same exact bug check. The first time I met such a bug check, I imagined that the user may have simply received a system with a bad BIOS, things like this happen in computers all the time. Well, the user contacted HP and replaced it with the exact same model course, and he had the same problem.

    Right at that time, I discovered another user knows exactly the same problem as the previous user. With a consistency like this, I wonder if there is a corruption of the BIOS and/or the bug associated with this particular model?

    What is happening is that there is a frequency of verification of bug ACPI_BIOS_ERROR (a5) .

    This bug check indicates that the BIOS Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) computer is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification.

    Error checking A5, {1000, 0, 80001000, 25}

    The 1st setting has always been far 1000.

    1000 = ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY.

    ACPI has been a fatal error during the processing of a region of memory operation. The region of operation memory tried memory card which has been attributed to the use of the OS.

    This bug check usually appears in these 2 scenarios:

    1 BIOS bug / damaged and must be resolved with an update or go back to the manufacturer.

    2 Rootkit (not very common).

    In our case, it is #1. Exactly, what is happening? I can't be quite too sure due to having to have a version controlled ACPI.sys to debug such a question and with what is happening on another system user, I won't use them as guinea pigs. However, this seems a general problem from what I can tell about this model BIOS. For reference, a BIOS update is not currently available for this specific model, so not quite sure that the end user can do, especially if their systems of replacement of the same model have the same question over and over again.

    -----------------

    Two threads where it occurs, I will update if I see anymore:

    1. Windows 8 crashes after being in the mode 'sleep' - Microsoft Community

    2. brand new computer under Windows 8 - 2 accidents in first day - Microsoft Community

    Why I write this here? Well, on the one hand, I can't find a place to contact HP and / r supports directly without really own a HP machine. So, with that said, two questions:

    1. is there a way to contact HP directly on this issue?

    2. is it and/or any other person with this specific model of HP's have this problem?

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,

    This forum is mainly of volunteers, and HP has no official presence here.    I ask that your question is raised.  In the meantime, you or your client should open an official ticket with HP support.  These PC is still covered by the warranty.

    Hello

    You have tried many things and it does not show up, could be physically damage. You cannot replace the RAM slot only, must be a whole mother/system board. Is the machine still under warranty? If this is not the case, my suggestion keep your machine running with 1 slot and save the money to buy the new machine. If you really want to change the mother/system map, please check the following lins:
